Question
part b
which excerpt from the passage best supports the
correct answer from part a?
- \in 1767, the british chancellor of the
exchequer, charles townshend, promoted a
piece of legislation that placed added taxes on
various british goods that the americans
imported, including glass, lead, painters
pigments, tea—and paper. townshends
legislation passed into law, and the britishestablished a bureau in boston to enforce the
new duties.\ (paragraph 4)
- \the movement started in the north and
quickly caught on in the south.\ (paragraph 5)
3.
ew york newspapers declared that those
who bought british goods were enemies to
their country. in philadelphia, newspapers
preferred the phrase an enemy to the
liberties of america.\ (paragraph 5)
- \in 1769 the first type made in america was
cut and cast in killingworth, connecticut, by
abel buell. that same year, the first
american - made printing presses went on sale,
manufactured in new haven by isaac
doolittle.\ (paragraph 6)
To solve this, we need to know the answer from Part A (not provided here). However, typically, such questions relate to topics like colonial American resistance to British taxes (e.g., boycotts of British goods). Let's analyze each option:
- Option 1 talks about the Townshend Acts (taxes on British goods imported to America) – this would support an answer about British taxation leading to colonial actions.
- Option 2 only mentions a movement spreading (no details on what the movement is).
- Option 3 talks about newspapers labeling buyers of British goods as enemies – this supports a boycott movement (if Part A was about boycotts).
- Option 4 is about American manufacturing (printing presses, type) – less likely to support a tax/resistance - related Part A answer.
Assuming Part A was about colonial boycotts of British goods (common in this era), Option 3 best supports it by showing how newspapers encouraged boycotts (labeling buyers of British goods negatively).
To determine the best excerpt, we analyze each option. Option 1 describes the Townshend Acts (taxation), Option 2 is vague about a movement, Option 3 shows newspaper - driven boycotts (labeling British - goods buyers as enemies, supporting a boycott - related Part A answer), and Option 4 is about American manufacturing. Assuming Part A relates to colonial resistance (e.g., boycotts), Option 3 is the best fit.
